SEATTLE — The player that’s exceeded expectations and provided so much of the offense in recent weeks was finally joined by the two players acquired to provide offense, but haven’t lived up to those expectations yet in the early part of the season.
Jarred Kelenic continued his stellar start to the 2023 season, driving in a pair of runs, while Teoscar Hernandez and AJ Pollock showed why they were added to the roster this season, driving in the other three runs in the Mariners’ 5-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.
Besides the five runs of offense, the Mariners got a solid start from right-hander George Kirby, who picked up his second win of the season with an efficient outing, and scoreless relief work from Trevor Gott, Justin Topa and Paul Sewald to improve to 9-11.
